Destination Sol

Destination Sol is a free-to-play, open-source space shooter that launched on February 5, 2015. The project has a long but sparse development history under community stewardship. The original developer handed ownership off to the MovingBlocks community in April 2015, and the project has been maintained by volunteers ever since. Over the years, the game received several updates: quality-of-life patches in 2015, a major v1.4.0 update on July 19, 2016 (adding an official soundtrack), and then a long gap before the landmark v2.0.0 release on July 10, 2020, which brought a new modding framework and additional ships and weapons. The most recent update, v2.1.0, shipped on April 5, 2023, adding new world generation, an updated tutorial, and UI improvements. That April 2023 release is the last developer communication of any kind. No further updates, announcements, or roadmap posts have appeared since then. The game has no unreleased DLC listed, no announced future content, and no post-launch pattern of sustained major releases that would suggest another update is forthcoming — the gap between v1.4.0 (July 2016) and v2.0.0 (July 2020) was nearly four years, and between v2.0.0 (July 2020) and v2.1.0 (April 2023) was nearly three years. Given this irregular, volunteer-driven cadence and over three years of silence since the last post, there is no signal that further content is planned. As an open-source project, the code remains available, but the published game on Steam appears to have settled into its current state.
